Number format in Gibraltar

Mobile numbers in Gibraltar have 8 digits after +350 and no trunk prefix, so the local form 57123456 becomes +350 57123456 in the to field.

Alphabet and segments

English text stays inside the GSM-7 alphabet, so one segment to Gibraltar holds 160 characters and each part of a longer text 153. Watch for curly quotes and emoji copied from other tools: one of them moves the whole text to Unicode at 70 characters per segment, and POST /v1/estimates shows the encoding before you send.

Time zone and timing

Gibraltar changes its clocks: Gibraltar is on UTC+1 in January and UTC+2 in July. 09:00 in Gibraltar is 08:00 UTC in January and an hour earlier in UTC while summer time runs, so give send_at with the local offset (for example +01:00 in winter) and the API does the conversion.

Send to Gibraltar with one request

The answer comes back at once with the message id, the country the number was matched to (GI) and the price. A delivered or failed event follows on your webhook, and a failed message is refunded.

For a list, send the same text to up to 10,000 numbers with POST /v1/batches, or a personal text per number in messages.
